I got a lot of Aztec events despite the Aztecs being defeated decades ago. Does the game just assume the Aztecs will never lose the initial invasion and thus bug out a bit when it happens? Jolan posted:(Ruler woes) Yeah, at least in my game rulers seem to be pretty much invincible for some reason. They're never captured when you take their capital or defeat them in battle, they hardly ever get hurt in hunts or fights, etc. If all else fails though, you can just console-kill him.

I'll have to play again to check. The instances where I was getting the other Aztec events (mostly Aztec food, bringing smallpox to the New World by accident, and the stuff about the Aztec wars against the Incans and North Americans) happened long before the repeating Aztecs Defeated bug. Basically, I beat the invasion in 1312, got the Aztecs Defeated event (I remember it showing up now), continued getting Aztec events anyway though at the time given one of my African provinces is now predominantly Nahua in culture I assumed they were simulating trade and immigration, and then yesterday after in-game decades of nothing further from the Aztecs I got the repeating event bug.

Yes I did (before I even booted the game the first time  ), but I honestly didn't think it bothered enough other people to post it up here again. I'll try to throw the files up here tonight, when I get home. I'm headed to the in-laws this weekend, so if I forget, PM me or remind me here again next week and I'll put them up.

Jolan posted:My current ruler has between -90 and -240 'dishonorable' modifier with everyone because of all the (failed) stabbing I needed to do to get my empire into absolute cognatic. It all started with one single rebellious vassal who was pissed at me, and a few missed stabs later half my vassals despise me. On the bright side, now my oldest daughter will inherit my two main titles, so mission complete. Sadly, my ruler's only 40something, so he won't die any time soon. He's stressed so I can't send him on hunts to trigger chance of death events, my only somewhat capable spymaster who had a -100 opinion of me 180'ed into +100 the second I appointed him, and even when the entire retinue he's leading gets destroyed, my ruler still manages to pop back to the safety of his demesne, time and time again. And there's hardly anyone ambitious left in my empire after the Great Cull, so even my haters don't feel like plotting against me. In situations like that I wish there was an abdicate the throne button. Swaps you to your heir but makes the succession a bit dicier or something for balance reasons. It's kinda silly that it doesn't exist, but I mean it would be really strong if you have a bad ruler. Of course the second you have a good ruler, take them into a battle where you massively outnumber the enemy and they have ridiculous martial...they will die 100%.

Do people actually take their rulers into battle? I never do, mostly because the few times I have, the ruler would always end up dead after a few battles.

I do because I favor martial education. But the more I'm seeing of it the more I should not do that. Especially as my realm gets bigger and bigger. It's just always tempting because my rulers are so GOOD at fighting when I train them. While the npc commanders are...not.

I pretty much always take my ruler if he's got high combat skill, isn't a coward, and there's no one better. If he dies, well, that's just the age he lived in. I tend to take my ruler into battle a lot if I'm a small, weak nation, and less often if I'm a large, powerful nation, because of lack of other decent commanders. Then there was Tewodros I, King of Venice, who led a successful Jihad for Andalusia and intermittently conquered large swaths of Italy, all from the front, from a kingdom that basically surrounded the Mediterranean.

A really high martial ruler is totally worth taking into battle if you aren't terribly worried about what will happen after his death...or even if you are, sometimes. Also, anybody with a martial education can gain an upgrade to their education type through battle, so it can be a good way to boost your stats. Plus, you can virtually guarantee getting Organizer and a good terrain trait because you get to pick during the event which gives you combat traits. Basically it is a risk, but it can pay off tremendously in terms of your battle effectiveness.

For any (like me) who still don't have all of the DLC, some of it's on sale on Amazon. It gives you codes in the Games and Software Library that can activate the DLC on Steam. For some, it's more on sale than directly from Steam (Old Gods $3.74).

So I finally managed to get a Zoroastrian game going to a point where I think I can make this work. I pretty much had to ruler-scum the game to get the ball rolling though. Vandad Karen has less than 3000 event troops? Reroll. Vandad has a hunchback and aversion to blood? Reroll. Vandad goes 20 years without siring an heir despite having a full stocked harem? Reroll. Even with a decent start I still had to resort to that gamey strat where you vassalize yourself to the Samanids and then putsch the satrap. The high point so far was when Gilan jumped in on my side during the inevitable Saffarid holy war and our two armies managed to not only route the satrap but capture him in battle. Piss off out of my land, Abrahamite.

Does adding Sons of Abraham make the game run slower? I used to be able to sim through the years quickly but now I can barely get through two years on the fastest setting, even after editing the graphics options.

So what's the point of the cardinal college? Spending money can get your own bishop elected but doesn't guarantee they will vote favourable for your goals. And the benefits of a Pope who likes you as I can see is the ability to ask for money or a divorce. Claims don't seem as cut and dry as if they like the current title holder the claim mightn't be granted. Just asking because I've been playing awhile and have a small, majority college due to my size; and a distant relative not of my domain has been elected as Pope. But I can't see why he's any better than a random Pope.

I just completely ruined my run 2 duchies away from becoming the Shaoshyant. Firstly, my young ruler became incapable in a battle at 97% war score, preventing him from flipping laws to primo, then the kingdom of Persia went to an elderly vassal not of my dynasty including my demesne, while I kept my heir's lovely single province and the actual empire. After that I got a rush of blood, and knowing it was a huge mistake and I should just mop up the duchies and call it a day, I then used my claims to revoke and lost major battles in the subsequent wars. Queue faction rebellion bonanza, and I'm a huge loving idiot.
